Product Information
Full details
The TTCombat Frosted Edge Spray Primer (TTAP-006) is an ideal choice for miniature hobbyists and scenery builders looking to create winter-themed or cold-toned projects. It provides a reliable, flat matte foundation for plastic, resin, and MDF materials with high pigment concentration that often requires only a single coat for full coverage. While this primer is highly effective for its intended color palette, users should note that as a specialized tone, it is best suited for middle-to-light cold color schemes rather than warm or vibrant palettes.

FAQs
Can I use this on metal miniatures?
While primarily designed for plastic, resin, and MDF, it will adhere to metal; however, a thin layer of metal primer may be needed for long-term durability.
Do I need to varnish over this primer?
No, the primer provides a matte base. You should apply your paint layers, then use a varnish of your choice to protect the final model.
How long should I wait before painting over it?
The primer is typically dry to the touch in 15-20 minutes, but it is best to wait at least 1 hour before applying heavy brush layers.
Is this primer waterproof?
Once fully cured, the primer provides a stable and water-resistant base for your acrylic paints.
Does it work well with zenithal highlighting?
Yes, its consistent matte finish makes it a great mid-tone base for zenithal highlighting techniques using white or grey paints.
Troubleshooting
The finish looks grainy or textured
You may be spraying from too far away, causing the paint to dry before it hits the surface. Move closer or spray in more humid conditions.
Paint is pooling or obscuring fine details
You are applying too much paint at once. Use shorter bursts and ensure you are not spraying too close to the miniature.
Nozzle is clogged
Remove the nozzle and soak it in a small amount of aerosol cleaner or warm soapy water, then clear the opening with a thin wire.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal results, always use the product in a well-ventilated area, preferably outdoors or in a space with a dedicated spray booth. Before use, shake the can vigorously for at least two minutes to ensure the pigments are properly mixed.
- Compatibility: This primer is compatible with acrylic paints, enamels, and washes.
- Application: Maintain an arm's length distance from the model at all times. Use short, sweeping bursts rather than holding the nozzle down continuously.
- Storage: Store the can upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or heat sources to maintain the integrity of the propellant.
- Maintenance: After finishing your spraying session, turn the can upside down and press the nozzle for two seconds to clear the internal straw of any residual paint.
